Hay Days in St. Marys Coming Up – St. Marys, GA

October 8, 2007 by Susanne Talentino

Haydays in St. MarysFall has once again come to St. Marys and with that the celebration of the harvest season with the annual “Hay Days” event. Hay Days kicks off October 13th and continue through November 3rd. The quaint downtown district of St. Marys will be transformed into a beautiful fall display. Storefronts and historic homes emblazoned with pumpkins, scarecrows, hay bales and flowering potted mums will enhance the harvest season scene.

The amusement begins for kids of all ages with Build-A-Scarecrow. The first of the Hay Days events will take place at Orange Hall where a kit with everything you need to make the perfect Scarecrow will be available for $20. Just the right place for your unique Scarecrow will be selected downtown and there he or she will stand ready to welcome everyone downtown.

Local businesses and organizations will be creating scarecrows to enhance the median of Osborne Street. Try to guess which Scarecrow goes with each business or group downtown along the Scarecrow Stroll on October 16th.

The annual festivities will continue by encouraging families to come to Orange Hall in costume that evening to view the scarecrows, visit the merchants for special treats and participate in all the fun family activities. A very special treat will be an all time favorite showing of the movie “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” beneath the twinkling stars and harvest moon.

Hay Days is an enjoyable family-oriented event in downtown St. Marys, Georgia. “With fall comes the welcome relief from the extreme heat of the summer and Hay Days is a perfect opportunity to get out and take advantage of the change of seasons”, said Alyce Thornhill, Director of the St. Marys Downtown Development Authority.
